In this article, a trangender is kicked out of a bueaty pagent in cananda due to not being a natural born woman. Your thoughts?

I find it pathetic, as there are no rules saying you can't enter if you were born a male. She's more gorgeous than any of the other women in the pageant! My opinion is that it was wrong that she was taken out, and she should take action. Sue, I don't know. Just do something. It's sad how people react nowadays at the words 'transgender" or even "gay".

It's sad, but I'm sure its something that will be quickly remedied.
I just get the feeling that it will.
But I agree with the above, she's a million time prettier than the other girls. I hate this knee jerk reaction everyone gets to even hearing the word Gay or Trans.

It's already remedied. The rules have been adjusted and she's back in.

I think its ridiculous, if he wants to be treated like a woman, treat him like a goddamn woman, its not like he's harming anyone by being a part of the pageant

Just saying. If you want people to take your posts seriously, especially those on the Internet and those related to potential political issues (not to mention posting in Extended Discussion), you must use proper spelling, grammar, and syntax. Am I being a "smart @$$"? Perhaps. But that's no excuse to take a lacked approach to presenting heated matters such as the incident you've linked. I honestly would reply to this post in a serious manner and give my two cents, but since you're so bent on calling me names [on every one of my posts and threads], I guess not. Here's a hint: Stop with the unprofessional statements and I will stop with the counter-strikes.

So that's what this is about; you think that my responses in every one of your threads/posts is me being an a*****e (except for this one since it CAN be taken the wrong way). Not really; looking at the threads I replied to, none of your threads/posts I've replied wasn't really on important matters; and furthermore, my replies we're mostly jokes (except for the snorelax one; I was DEAD serious). Its not my intention to offend you but it's not my concern on how you feel.

It wasn't fair, but you know, beauty pageants are dumb anyways. Even if she *was* born a woman, they'd still find something imperfect about her anyways. Society judges people too much already, so why do beauty pageants where the judgement is ten times worse?

As a transgendered woman myself, I find this pathetic. If we were able to choose our gender at birth, we would be women. Sorry assholes of this world, but sex isn't an option in the womb.


Oh, and those posters there make me absolutely sick. I hope a wild boar breaks into their house and hits them head on to knock sense into them. Seems Yahoo is a cesspool of closed minded, arrogant, and overall impared people.

hate to say it but it most likely happened because the other girls were intimidated. and yes i consider him a her. and since they felt threatened by her beauty they caused this. i feel glad that shes back in and i hope the judges don't hold her being born a male against her.
